Yes the ash tree disaster is a horrible event. We bought some wonderful forested property in the month of February some years ago. Come spring - ooops, those were ash trees. Do you know how expensive it is to remove 40 dead ash trees? Now we have a nice field with some thicket at the back.

I have four green ash and three white ash trees I planted at the back of my property a decade ago, I'm hoping they'll survive since ash trees aren't all that common around here. EAB would really have to have good radar to find them since my property is surrounded by pine plantation.

Regarding American elm, it seems like most of the DED resistant cultivars are from up north, I haven't found a single southern cultivar. They say the Princeton elm is good down to zone 9, but I find it hard to believe a tree from Connecticut would thrive down here.
